Remember too, you are not the actual landowner. You would not want to put the landowner at any risk as well as yourself from any type of lawsuit.
good point...

Just had the living crap scared outta me. I don't often sit till pitch dark but I got close tonight.6:55 pm hit and I was pretty much packed and ready to jump down. About 30 or 40 yards off, a pack of coyotes erupts and fills the woods with their howls and yelps. The sounds came from everywhere along a 100 yard stretch on one side of me. Must have been at least 6 or 8 animals.Maybe more. This was my closest encounter with more than one yote. I debated on whether to hang out for 10 minutes and see if they passed, but instead opted to jump outta the tree and make a breathless dash for home.
Anyway...I made it. Pretty freaky experience.
Oh...and no deer moving tonight.
I came down about 20 minutes early the other day because of the coyotes, they were going nuts pretty damn close........scary is right.

I went and bought a torque screwdriver last year for mounting scopes and making sure the screws weren't too tight, as I have overtightened in the past.....I was amazed at how loose they still felt when I got to the proper lbs.

I've always used the blue loctite but recently read somewhere that some manufacturers don't recommend it, want to say Leupold, but not sure......I'm gonna stick with it.

Nice!! let us know if you catch anyone in the Booby traps...

Hornady SST or Lightfields............had great experiences with both.

But wouldn't you decrease your odds of it happening by placing your stand further away from the line?

well, I'm thinking that you would have to be a bit further from "the line" to prevent any problems........I don't think there are too many landowners who would give up an acre or two of prime deer habitat because of the slim chance the deer may cross the line onto land they have no access to...the only deer I ever lost due to not being able to contact a landowner, probably went a good 1/4 mile. There's no doubt that there are places that only provide a small window for a shot before the deer gets onto private property, because that's where it's going, that's obviously something I would avoid.

So you would knowingly kill a deer you may not be able to recover simply because you refuse to change how you hunt your own land?

"knowingly"? if I KNEW the deer was going to end up on the property, of course I wouldn't shoot it.......but no one has a 100% guarantee what is going to happen once the bullet or arrow is on its way.....but no way I would let a few acres of property go to waste because of a dbag neighbor, it could happen whether you're 100 yards or a 1/4 mile from the line.
-
I think if you were to pour enough onto the ground that would cause them to dig and eat off the leaves and dirt or whatever it is they do when people pout those mineral things on the ground, then they would consider it baiting.
-
Ditto. But it also enforces the pre-hunt responsibility of knowing what you can and can't do and where you can and can't go.
We've avoided some nice stand locations for this vary reason.
no way I would ever let someone else dictate how I hunt my land, if I lose a deer because of someone refusing me access, then so be it.....but no way I would give up my own acres because of what may happen.

like apple juice from the store??? I would call that contaminating the area.

Accusations aside......I do not see how ppl can spend so much time and effort researching travel patterns ,equipment ect ect and the one huge thing they need is too dang hard to do...
That is find out who owns around you and get their numbers...IT is a basic must have when hunting in areas of contiguous properties owned by different ppl. EVEN deer search will ask you if you have permission ...and you are suppose to get it ahead of time...They are not suppose to track on lands with out it. I had to make several calls while we were tracking I also made calls before they even got there...EVERY SINGLE TOWN has a tax office and a clerk. I didn't know or couldn't find ...really does not work in this day and age especially when you have a whole year between seasons to do what you need to do...kinda like practicing...not one of you would let the guy have a pass..... who made a bad hit then dumbly said after telling you about it.."Ya I didn't have time to take the bow or gun out before season opener" come on!
but still, if I was flat out told by one landowner, ahead of time, that under no circumstance would I ever be allowed on his property, I certainly wouldn't let it affect the way I hunt the land that I own......unfortunately, hunts sometimes have bad outcomes, and being refused access to another's land to retrieve a deer may be one of them.

well, we have one neighbor that is such a douchebag, that if he needed to come on our property for ANYTHING, I would tell him to go screw himself......and I'm certain the same would apply to me.
-
it's like going for the light that's been yellow for a long time and you know it's about to turn red at any second but you accelerate anyway..........once you speed up and commit to going for it, don't hit the brakes at the last second, just go for it....it could turn into a disaster but maybe not.

After a double check, I am out of cover scent. Not worried. Went outside, clipped a few pine snips and put them in the plastic box with my hunting clothes. Just went in that room ( kept closed ) to get a jar of home made pickles and that room smells like pine. Real pine. I think I will be OK in the morning.
clothes should be good....but, unfortunately you'll smell like pickles.

I know it isn't a good comparison BUT........................Would you call the NY State Police BEFORE speeding on the I-90 while heading to your veterinarian because your Labrador Retriever was dying from an accidental ingestion of rat poison?
Of course not...........................
figured I'd throw the answer from the legal experts out there for those that were looking......honestly, if I knew it was gonna be an involved tracking and lengthy drag out, I would without question look for an owner and ask permission...50 yards over the line? I'd have to think about that one.

As far as asking for permission and landowner saying no. I hope there's no idiot that would actually say "no" at attempt to retrieval. Hunting perhaps but retrieval no.
you would hope not, but I have no doubt there are neighbors that hate each so much that it's probably almost a guarantee.

Question: If I shoot a deer and it runs onto posted property, do I have the legal right to go on the property to retrieve it?
Answer: No. You should locate the landowner, explain the situation, and ask permission. If the landowner refuses, the hunter will not be able to enter the property. The DEC cannot compel a landowner to grant access. If the hunter has reason to believe that the landowner intends to illegally possess the deer, it should be reported to the nearest Environmental Conservation Officer.-

I think they can refuse you access even if DEC was with you.....

I have heard of the Clorets thing... not sure I buy it, but like you say "It can't hurt"...
I'll tell you this, after many early morning conversations with some hunter's, this has got to be better then what I've smelled coming from inside them...........and I think deer would agree.

Interesting morning. Watched a doe with two fawns feeding out in the field. One fawn kept jumping and running back and forth like it was being bothered by bugs but then it suddenly put its nose to the ground and started trailing like a mature buck. It followed the doe across twenty yards and tried to mount her! Momma put an end to that with a well-placed kick.
After some more jumping and running around the little guy repeatedly tried to mount the other fawn. I'm thinking it was his sister and she just kept running away.
Pretty darn funny to watch, kind of like the junior high students I taught...,
I'm thinking this little guy could be a real stud some day! If only he makes it through this year.
that happens Upstate a lot from what I hear........

Are you saying it's worth letting the deer suffer "X" hrs to get your name in a book??
me personally? I could care less about a book..... I was just curious if some would do the right thing and kill the suffering animal and then look past that and keep quiet and enter it into that book, would it "feel right" doing that, after all it does violate the rules, does it not?......I'm saying kill it, and forget about the book.

nuisance permits and posted property
in General Chit Chat
Posted
I was on a nuisance permit a few years ago......the deer did not have to be used, brought to a landfill or buried on site were two of the acceptable options for disposal.
